Grab your dance shoes, because Billy Elliot: The Musical is coming to town! Billy Elliot, a heartfelt story about a boy with a seemingly impossible dream, runs at Garden Theatre April 26 - May 26, 2019. Directed by Rob Winn Anderson, the production features local and national talent.

Featuring an electrifying score by music legend Elton John, Billy Elliot: The Musical is an inspirational story set in a northern English town during the devastating miners' strike of 1984. 11-year old Billy journeys from the boxing ring to a ballet class to make his dreams come true while challenging the long-held beliefs of his hometown. Along the way, he discovers a passion for dance that unites his family, inspires his community, and changes his life forever. Based on the smash-hit film, Billy Elliot is an astonishing theatrical experience with a big heart.

The cast features Parker James Fullmore as Billy Elliot, Burke Brickner as Michael, David Lowe as Dad, Sara Catherine Barnes as Mrs. Wilkinson, Jac Ledoux as Grandma, CJ Roche as Tony, and Drew Kerr as Older Billy. Bob Brandenburg, Jason Blackwater, Eric Desnoyers, Melvin Nash, Zach Gunier, Justin Ortiz, Mary Catherine Waltman, Lauren Busteed, Olivia DeMarco, Andre Torres, Jake Reid, Julia Jordan, Ryleigh Lawton, Riley Herrera, Lilly Reid, Finley Hayden, Angelina Fritz-Majernik, Savannah Grace Elmer, and Victoria Salisbury round out the cast of miners, policemen, and ballet dancers.

Garden Theatre's production of Billy Elliot: The Musical is choreographed by Rob Winn Anderson and Daniel Hunalp. The production features Music Direction by Robert Stamper, Scenic Design by Chris McKinney, Lighting Design by George Jackson, Costume Design by Daniel Jones, Sound Design by Anthony Narcisco, and Props Design by Alesha Hollatz.
